COMMENTS: Originally described as R. ruber melanurus by Laurie and Hill (1954:112), but the name is preoccupied by Rattus melanurus Shamel, 1940 , which refers to a sample of Maxomys whiteheadi . A morphologically distinctive species whose phylogenetic affinities seem equivocal ( Taylor et al., 1982, 1983).
